Role overview
We are looking for a Software Intern for a three-month internship to design and run benchmark measurements of artificial intelligence models used in engineering work. The role focuses on benchmark design, repeatable measurement, accurate reporting of results, and documentation thorough enough that another engineer can reproduce the measurements later. It is a self-contained software project rather than firmware or satellite hardware work, and its output is working code and a written report rather than a publication. Reporting to a senior engineer.

Location: Satlabs Facility in IIT Madras Research Park, Chennai.

Required qualifications
Currently enrolled in, or recently graduated from, a degree in any engineering or computing discipline.
University coursework covering the fundamentals of artificial intelligence or machine learning.
Working proficiency in Python, sufficient to build and maintain a small tool independently.
Working comfort with the Linux command line.
Ability to write clearly for a mixed technical and business audience,



including short reports intended to support a decision.
A measurement-led approach to technical questions, with attention to the validity of reported numbers.

Preferred experience
Hands-on work with machine learning models or their programming interfaces beyond coursework, in personal projects, research, or industry.
Benchmarking, measurement or experimental work of any kind, including outside software.
Familiarity with Git, databases, and containers.
Interest in satellites or space systems.

Key competencies
Accuracy in reporting results, including clear statements of which results are reliable and which are not.
Systematic approach to problem-solving, with explicit documentation of method and findings.
Ability to work independently, with the judgement to seek direction when it is needed.
Willingness to raise blockers early, which matters particularly over a twelve-week engagement.
Attention to the distinction between wha
